Hi, most of my hair has started to grow back over the last few months but the last part is the front of my head and it is so itchy ,what would anyone suggest to use to ease the itchiness and does the itchiness stop once the hair has all grown back.
I'm glad your hair is growing back although I'm sorry about the itchiness you're having to contend with in the process.

Hi, no I didn't, but we are now in feb and it has finally stopped itching , the nurses said it could be just the new hair growth that was making it itchy, I was also getting itchy neck but they put this down to the chemo but this has also gone phew.hair back not as thick but hair..
Thank you for getting back to me. I've ordered some things that have been recommended so hopefully something will work . It's only been 3 weeks since the end of my last chemo cycle and my hair is growing back so quick I think that's why it's so itchy. Hope you are doing ok ? And thanks again
Hi, I did start to take antihistamine s which helped a little ,I was taking these for my nose as I lost all my hairs in my nose and it was running and I was sneezing all the time ,I used vasoline on my nose to try and stop dust and any Irratants .
just remembered my daughters used to put frozen peas on my scalp every now and then which did help and was a lighter moment in life made me laugh
yes I'm doing ok ,if you want to ask any further questions please do happy to help
